Chicago Champion

Michael “Ves” Vesely

How long have you been axe throwing?

Three Months

How did you first hear about Bad Axe?

I heard about Bad Axe through a friend

What’s your favorite thing about Axe Throwing?

Feeling like a lumberjack for a couple hours a week/knowing that in a zombie apocalypse I could be dangerous from 12-15 feet away

How did you fall in love with axe throwing?

Tried it once with coworkers and realized how awesome it is!

What do you tell people who have never thrown axes before?

I tell people they should go try it as soon as possible because they are missing out.

If you could throw axes with one person in history who would it be?

If it had to be non-fiction than I would say Abe Lincoln because he probably was pretty good at it. If I could choose a fictional character, then I would have to say Paul Bunyan because he is the most iconic lumberjack figure.

My friends, Freddy and Tanner who joined the axe throwing league with me; Bad Axe Chicago coaches Cody and Sam; Jack, who took me axe throwing for the first time; and my girlfriend Carolyne for supporting my throwing passion.

Do you have any social media you like us to link? Or maybe some cool social media axe throwing pictures you may have?
